(3) The brainchild of Mattel co-founder Ruth Handler, Barbie was named for Ruth’s daughter Barbara. (4) Ruth decided to make a grown-up doll that would allow Barbara to envision her future. (5) Mattel unveiled the Barbie doll at the 1959 American Toy Fair in New York City. (6) Barbie soon became the most popular doll in the United States.

Which sentence in this paragraph would work best as the introductory sentence?

A. sentence 1
B. sentence 2
C. sentence 3
D. sentence 4

Answer 1

I would say A or C would fit the role a topic sentence should play. Simply because B doesn't make sense unless given context with A. D doesn't make sense unless given context from A. So because of the lack of context between B and D if put in the first sentence, I would narrow it down to A or C. I'm assuming there is a was in between "Barbara" and "tired" within the first sentence. Hope that helps.

Answer 2
